In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.
Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them. 1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary. B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu. C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare. D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.
2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?
A. Social reality. B. Female dreams.
C. Human emotions. D. Political environment. 3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4? A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works. B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.
C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture. D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.

Starting at university or college can be a big challenge, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. You arefaced with big questions such as, “Who’s going to do my washing?” “Who’s going to tidy my room?” And, most importantly, “How am I going to eat?” Yes, living on your own means cooking for yourself, and when you’re living a student lifestyle, this could be a recipe for disaster.
Students, in the UK at least, often rely on generally available food such as baked beans or cheese on toast. And for the more adventurous, there’s “spag bol” — spaghetti bolognaise(肉酱意粉), that is, cooked spaghetti served with a ground beef and tomato sauce — a budget-friendly solution. If you make a huge pan of it, it can probably last you a whole week! Other low-cost options include jar sauces and oven pizzas.
Recently, a British supermarket suggested that rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar and Swiss bouillon powder were the important food materials needed for the “student cupboard”. But are these items considered essential and affordable for someone on a budget?
As a matter of fact, living on a budget is certainly one barrier to eating a well-balanced diet. What’s more, some young people don’t know much about cooking, and for many young students, there are more fun things to go and do than just stay inside and cook. That’s where takeaways and microwave meals come in.
What should a health-conscious student really have in his or her food cupboard? Jack Monroe, a food writer and campaigner, has words to say: baked beans, lemon juice, canned tomatoes and tomato ketchup, described as “salt, sugar, vinegar and tomato all in one handy squeezy bottle”. And should that not appeal, you can always wait till your next visit to your mum and dad for a square meal!
4. What does the author indicate by “this could be a recipe for disaster”?
A. Cooking is difficult for a student. B. Students must cook if they live alone. C. It is important to live independently. D. Learning to cook will cause disasters. 5. What is the feature of “spag bol”?
A. It is delicious. B. It is healthy. C. It saves money. D. It needs little skill.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How well-balanced diets can be realized.
B. How students can eat healthily with limited money. C. Why living on a budget is common among students. D Why students choose takeaways and microwave meals. 7. Why does the author write the last paragraph?
A. To advocate visiting parents. B. To offer some tips. C. To promote health consciousness. D. To introduce a writer.

Dragon boating is a team sport that has its root in ancient China. The boats are decorated with a dragon head and tail. In recent years cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help rebuild their lives.
On a recent Saturday morning, a group of 20 women were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC. They moved their paddles(船桨)in rhythm to the call of a coach. The women belong to the dragon boat team GoPink! DC, which trains weekly. It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals. As a result, GoPink! DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival.
Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was demoralized because of my illness - I lost all interest in life and wouldn't even get out of bed to eat. But now I love the team spirit. I just love everything about it. It is like a floating support group on the water.”
The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Annette Rothemel helped establish(建立)the group in 2006. She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor. “It is sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.” But Ms Rothemel saysdragon boating can be physically demanding, especially for someone who is sick and getting treatment for cancer.
“It’s hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life. This is something I look forward to. I get to be out here with my sisters and supporters that understand what I’m going through and help motivate me. So it makes me stronger and it makes me feel better,” another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.
Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they
paddle together. She says both feelings are treasured by the team. 8. What do the underline wordsdemoralizedIn para.3 probably mean?
A. depressed B. anxious C. astonished D. awkward 9. What can we know about Lydia Collims from the text? A. she helps establish Go Pink !DC B. she tries to find a cure for the cancer C. she benefits from the dragon boat race D. she gives up hope because of her illness
10. How can the dragon boat race help the cancer survivors A. forget their tough experiences B. recover physically and mentally C. get rid of the pains of their cancer D. enjoy their rest life without sufferings
11. What does the text tell us about Annette Rothemel? A. she is an expert in studying the cause of the cancer B. she helps the cancer survivors in financial difficulties
C. she believes there is a healthful result from the dragon boat race D. she thinks it unwise for the patient to join in the dragon boat race
D
Understanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Rome. Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.
Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.
Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods, those who identify
with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.
Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms. Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods, Ms. Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives. 12. Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?
A. Bringing a resuable container to take away food. B. Choosing appliances that cost less money. C. Turning off a device to stop using power. D. Classifying the garbage before throwing it away. 13. What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle? A. Recycable carboard. B. Excessive packaging.
C. Glass jars to store purchases. D. Natural substances in cleaning products. 14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. How do people live a zero waste lifestyle. B. Why Ms. Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle.. C. We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia. D. It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. 15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Living a zero waste lifestyle. B. Going green ismore than a fashion.
C. A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve. D. Making environmentally-conscious decisions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
